The controversial statement by KPCC president D.K. Shivakumar on the alleged meeting of KPCC Campaign Committee chairman M.B. Patil and Higher Education Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan continued to take more twists with the former Congress MP and actor Ramya’s response.
While on Wednesday Ms. Ramya said she was being trolled at the behest of the “office” (obliquely referring to Mr. Shivakumar) for backing Mr. Patil, on Thursday she accused that stories were planted in the media that she had duped the party of ₹8 crore. Ms. Ramya had earlier defended the meeting between the Minister and Mr. Patil, followed by trolling.
The ongoing Twitter war among Congress leaders has further exposed rival camps within the party.
